Don't care about the phone line, but the 120 is scorched. So the background is this; bought a 22yo house that was formerly inhabited by an electrician who does commercial high rise buildings in NYC. I've been fixing his "handy work" as I come across them (for instance he had a 14/3 wire...

Hey Guys, I'm hoping some of you reclaim/reuse enough wood that you can help me get these staples out of these red oak stair treads. The staples are really brittle so my usual method of grabbing with pliers and the rolling the pliers is just breaking them off. Even the staples that I can get...

My wife and I have been looking for our next house, but this pandemic has made the market here crazy! We found something we'd both be happy in but there's NO GARAGE & we need to get a bid in on the house. I know there are a lot of variables and maybe I can narrow that down a bit; We're in the...

I've found a couple of used cylinders on a local sale site. Guy says "he thinks" one is/was nitrogen and the other co2 & I'm guessing are 80 cf since the guy described them as ~3' tall. I asked him to confirm the contents. My question is "does anyone think I can exchange these at TSC for argon...

Hey all, I just picked up the HF 20-ton shop press. For a great deal: between the 25% off coupon and the unadvertised temporary price reduction ($169) that I found when i got to the store, I only paid $127 for it So I was about to put it together when I thought to check GJ for some upgrade...

Hello All, I've had a Home Master 5 speed 1/2 hp drill press that I got used years ago and for cheap. I'm finally getting to use it but the chuck is pretty beat. I figured out that it was on a tapered spindle rather than a threaded one and got it off the spindle. The markings on the chuck...

We've done very well for ourselves and have made it to the world championship 3 times (2x in the last 2yrs) Well now that we've proven ourselves on little more than a small to med sized band saw, a 5speed 1 hp drill press and a 3d printer, I've got the go-ahead to spend $10k on a mill. I...

All I really know about welding, I learned in high school shop class. So I got this Lincoln stick welder a few years ago real cheap ($100?). I've been using it successfully with 1/8" and 3/16" general purpose rods for a variety of projects. My question is what are all the extra settings...

Anybody wanna share their set up? I just blew my output regulator so I thought I'd see what people are running. I've got 60 gal Husky that I got off of Craig's list. I use it for general purpose air tools and would like to put a water filter and regulator combination on the line. Should...

Also; http://www.roarksupply.com/2-Surface-Conditioning-Pads-p/2in-surface-condition-disc.htm Can anyone give me a rough cross between grit value to roloc/scotchbright pad color? Experience/trial and error will be greatly appreciated. I'm about to start polishing the stainless steel exhaust...

Hey All, I'm thinking of powder coating a couple of small parts (maybe with the Harbor Freight kit). Has anyone got any advice? Some of the how to videos say "don't do it in your kitchen stove" but I don't really want to take up space in my garage with an oven for this (probably) one time...

Hey all, I've got an open frame landscaping trailer that I use to haul my 4 wheeler's around. The steel mesh "floor" has gotten pretty stretched out and the welds holding it down are starting to break. I threw some off-the-shelf fenders on there last summer that I picked up at Tractor supply...

Has anyone built their own sandblaster? I've got a few small sandblasting projects from refinishing a garage swivel stool to refinishing a 5x7 landscaping trailer (well maybe not so small). As I'm a bit tapped out since I just bought a 60 gal compressor, I'd like to make a sandblaster for...
